drawn for the present from the struggle in the
uouse of Commons. That section OF the lr1sh
rarty which favors extreme measures now has the
urper hand. 1t rejects the counsels OF moderate
Liberals and declares that It intends to conduct
onposition to the Crimes bill in its own fashion.
MIR Morley Joins it, alleging that the Irish them
selves are the best judges of what policy to pur-
s,,e with reference to Irish measures. Mr. Parnell,
though rcrorted to be much better took no part In
Yesterdays proceedings. Of which Mr. Healy was
as hitherto the soul. The result Of this course VIII
be that the most important sections and principles
of the bill Will be ultimately passed with little or
M discussion. If remarks The Standard"
cynically, "the Government were really averse 10
having their proposals thoroughly scrutinized moth
ing would have suited their views better than the
plan adopted by the Parnellltes.'
"Ihe Daily News has at last mustered up cour-
age to take notice OF Mr. Davitt's speeches at
Bodyke. 1t condemns them and explains to Rs
readers that Mr.. Davitt Is bitter and persistent
enemy of Mr.. Parnell and the National League, who
treats the admonitions Of the League with con-
tempt and docs what he can to inIure the cause OF
Home Rule. And once more this English organ OF
The Nationalist cause lifts up Its voice
to proclaim that If Home Rule is
to make way among the working
classes of this country the Irish Nationalsts must
be moderate, reasonable and just. Not Mr.. OCon-
nor, now hear, but another 1Hshman is writing
the Irish editorials of this paper. I
London from Hyde Park Corner to Westminster
Is already one huge scafTolding. The palaces Of
Piccadily are given over to carpenters and gas
ftters as are the shops and clubs Of st. Jamesst.
Pail Mall and Charng Cross are in the possession OF
the British worlIngman and seem likely to remain
so the rest of the week. Speculation Is r1fe In
rooms. windows, stands sometimes whole houses,
and all vacant lots on the line Of the procession
Premises are let relet and sublet for Tuesday at
prices daily more eXtravagant. One lot ofground
belonging to the Crown was let ten days since for
thousand pounds. The lessee has already sold six
thousand pounds worth of seats Waterloo House
let for five hundred pounds and was reet for three
thousand. Fifty pounds have been paid for
single seat on Parliament-St. Some hotels leave
their guests in possession Of the rooms. Others
turn them out with the choice CT staying at
hlty pounds window.
New announcements about the procession stimu-
late public excitement. 1t looks as though
the outdoor spectacle would far exceed in splendor
that inside the Abbey. Great numbers of persons
holding tickets for the Abbey will not use them
The most favored cannot expect to get away under
three or four hours. and hardly than onethird
will really see much of what goes on. The Amer
lean LEGATION, / hear, allowed two tickets to
the Abbey besides those for the Minister and secre
taries. This number is understood by the Lord
chamberlain to exhaust the list of distinguished
Americans who may desire to be present
Great efforts have been made TO induce some
Of the Irish members to attend the Jubilee service
In the Abbey, but thus far unavalingly. There
IRE people who draw from their refusal most omi-
nous conclusions but no official cOuntenance is
given to such inferences. The Irish make no pre-
tence of joining in the Thanksgiving service for
reign which they think has been one Of oppression

"1he Worlds testimonial to Mr.. Glad
stone meets with carplhg critics is presented
1t is roundly denounced in various quarters as
nothing but Yankee advertisement for certain en-
terTrisng traders. LetcY appear explaining with
particularly to tie British public who the pro-
mOters of this gift enterprise are
what their relations are to "Ihe
morld,' and how the money was raised in
New-Yolk by entertainments after attempt to
secure subscriptions had failed. Two or three
Americans protest in The Times" against this
being supposed an adequate testimonial of Amer
lean respect for MIR. Gladstone.
Miss Ellen Ierry's benefit last night proved to be
one of those memorable occasions of which there
have been so many in the history Of Mr. Irving
management of the Lyceum Theatre. The play
was Much Ado About Nothing Miss Terry, 1
believe prefers her own Beatrice to all her other
parts. Certainly she never played any part with
more bIilliancy of touch than this last night. Mr..
lrvings Benedick, always a piece of genuine COM
edy, was at its best. The house was in state of
excitement that at times seemed delhieus.
